Tickle Me, Elmo
When the holiday season would come around, this item was something parents rushed for. While it was clear Elmo was fun and adored character from Sesame Street, there was no way to describe what it was like to interact with him like this. With one tight hug, Elmo would give up this warm and infectious laugh. Parents did everything they could to buy this $29 stuffed animal and today its worth around $250!

This advanced notebook was a huge deal for young girls who were used to writing with paper and pen. Girls could record what they felt and it was an exciting thing in the ’90s to be able to record yourself and hear it! This was way before smartphones were invented and it was something the world was not used to. Today phones have replaced this excitement but originals sell for around $200.
